    Monsters Inc DVD (technical issues merged thread)

    I have a Pioneer DV-440 and the layer change is noticable in chapter 30. I don't see this as a problem with the disk though, at least not when discussing it being defective or not. I've noticed layer changes on many disks with this dvd player. I've just come to live with it the way I've come to...

    The (in)sanity of collecting DVDs

    Oh yea. What about when they switch to blue lasers and the quality goes up? I still have some of the greatest movies sitting on VHS that I can't even stomach on my HD set. Godfather Set, Citizen Kane, Unforgiven, hell Raising Arizona......

    The (in)sanity of collecting DVDs

    I am a reformed DVD shopper. I own a good 40 plus movies and I still buy them when I really love a title. I find it impractical to spend money on a flick like Vertical Limit or some such nonsense that I wouldn't have paid eight bucks for, much less twenty. I even read that people haven't even...

    Pioneer DV434 Progressive - $179.99

    The one thing about Pioneer DVD players that I've seen is that they will play just about any disk format I can think of. SVCD, VCD, MP3, etc etc etc. I own a Pioneer DV-440 that gleefully plays even the most questionable of disks.

    How to Abuse Salespeople for Fun and Profit

    I almost forgot a point of clarification. Just because you paid full price doesn't make you a sucker. I've kind of given that image I think. If demand is high or the item is a specialty item it may not be possible to save millions. I'm not selling learning tapes called "How to Abuse...

    How to Abuse Salespeople for Fun and Profit

    JakeR is right. Don't go in demanding a price. You won't get it and you aren't building a relationship. We used to call those people styrofoam, slang for white trash. Unreasonable demands are treated with apathy. Services like installation are usualy done by a third party and are non negotiable...

    Superbit not dts/es!!!!

    Ok, big baby time here but if I'm going to the trouble of puting out a state of the art DVD that maximizes audio and video performance why wouldn't I use the most advanced version of dts? CastAway and Gladiator sound better!! Not that I'm complaining, I really do like having Fifth Element in...

    Apartment HT. Any Suggestions?

    I bought satellites. They're small and usually sound good with a sub. Listen carefully and compare. Most places you go aren't set up very well acoustically and none of them are like your living room. I went in looking for Bose and walked out without because I like the mid range. Eventually you...

    How to Abuse Salespeople for Fun and Profit

    Brad, Get a quote from a few different places. You could probably flash a few cards and they might move a bit. Best Buy has what's called permanent promo and lowest sale price, which is the lowest price that they have offered it. Anyone on the floor can look it up and you can get that price...

    How to Abuse Salespeople for Fun and Profit

    I recently left a position with a certain yellow tag consumer electronics company as sales manager. I thought it would be fun to pass on a bit of info on CE retailers to level the playing field. Please keep in mind that it is a playing field. They want you to buy the most stuff for the most...
